Abstract:
|
In the present paper we analyze that DC temperature
measurements of the silicon surface can be used to monitor the
high frequency status and performances of class A RF Power
Amplifiers. As a proof of concept, we present experimental results
obtained with a 65 nm CMOS IC that contains a 2GHz linear
class A Power Amplifier and a very simple differential
temperature sensor. Results show that the PA output power can
be tracked from DC temperature measurements. |
